Hoover Backs Education
To Tune of $150,000
H. W. Hoover Jr., president and chairman of the board
of The Hoover Co., has released an open letter to the Citizens of the .North Canton School District urging them to
back the proposed $990,000 school bond issue.

On Individualism
According to!the opponents of our way of life, we are
doomeu to eventual deieat because we put so much stress
upon the individual — upon individual liberties and individual rights. In fact, those who believe in a collective
society, whether it be under the rule of the State or of a
Dictator — not that I have ever been able to see any difference — condemn our individualism as archaic.
We established our individualism long years ago, when
the first pioneers came to these shores. A man stood or
fell on his own ability. He helped his neighbors and his
neighbors helped him. A few attempts were made at communal settlements, but they soon failed, because the drones
wanted to live on those who toiled — and those hard-working individualists soon got tired of being taken for suckers
and stood on their individual rights, proclaiming that those
who won't woi'k, won't eat!
It isn't always that easy to be an individualist. There
are many times when it would be much simpler to accept
thp mental rule of State or Dictator, to be told what to
think, how to work, and to have our minds ruled for us.
But that is not the American Way.
We have regard for the person and we believe in the
sanctity of the individual. We respect and defend the State
because it represents the composite convictions of its individual citizens. We believe in the credo that the individual
has rights only in the same ratio as he has responsibilities.
We also believe in the responsibility of the State toward
its citizens and toward those States who are like minded.
We fought a war to prove that point in our internal affairs. We joined in two wars to prove that point to the
world.
Communist propaganda — always aimed at disrupting
and dividing a people — has cleverly played upon our ideals
as individuals. They have talked peace in which we believe
— but at the same time they have crushed their satel'ites
by force of arms. They have talked freedom for the downtrodden, in which we also believe — but instead of liberating their subject peoples; they have bound them tighter.
.They have boasted of their great social benefits — but
whom do they benefit? 'Die poorest worker in this country
has more than those in the "Paradise of the Workers."
There will always be some who will fall for what they
want to believe, but I do not believe that an individual
American who stops to think, will not see the fallacy in
arguments that bear no relation to deeds. We have been
too long trained and act as individuals, within the framework of the republic that was set up for us by men who
believed in the individual, to be led astray in our thinking.
Our individualism is our strength. Let us be proud of
it and show to the world that individuals working together
cannot be defeated.
Too Much Red Tape?
"How can Government officials uphold law and order
when they, themselves, brazenly flout the laws ?" asks Editor Rosalie Gordon in a recent issue of America's Future.
Some congressmen, says Miss Gordon, have been asking
this question with respect to our foreign aid handouts to
Castro's international helpers, even though other ofLcials
have shown little interest.
Congress last year outlawed foreign aid to countries
whose ships supplied oil to Red Cuba — without any exceptions. On other products supp ied to Cuba, the President
could make an exception where he considered it in the public interest, reporting his action to the appropriate Congressional committee.
Rep. Melvin Laird, Wisconsin, reports that the ships
of 27 nations have been supplying Castro with various
goods while receiving half a billion dollars of our aid money.
No one, says Miss Gordon, has found that the White House
advised any committee of the national interest being involved. In the first six months of 1963, four nations, receiving $145 million in United States aid, shipped oil to
Red Cuba in the face of the absolute embargo.
Miss Gordon thinks it is bad enough to see this help
going to an enemy stronghold, but infinitely worse for the
President, himself, to ignore the law. But, what with pot
having enough help, and in his eagerness to oblige Castro's
boss in Moscow with a treaty, we suppose oversights are
bound to occur.
Please Pardon Our Bias, But....
This newspaper, we believe you will agree, has always
been generous in allocating space to all manner of Community effort and national "weeks" — from National Pickle
Week to Employ the flandicapped Week.
Therefore, we feel we should be forgiven for a small
toot on our own horn in behalf of National Newspaper
Week, which this year is being celebrated during the October 13 to October 19 period.
There could not be a more fitting slogan than the one
chosen for 1963. It is: "Newspapers Make a Big Difference
in People's Lives."
Most readers are certain to subscribe to that statement, especially those who have been deprived of their
newspapers by strikes and have found out how truly dependent they are on their newspapers.
Eor the newspaper — particularly the hometown newspaper — is much more than a gatherer and dispenser of
news. It is a frontline fighter in the never-ending struggle
to preserve our freedoms; it is a relentless foe of corruption; it is a watchdog of the public treasury and it unfailingly exposes any menace to national or community well-
being.
' And, best of all, anyone who finds fault with that appraisal of the virtues of a community newspaper can bo
express himself,
The letter reads as follows:

'Dear Citizen,
Growth is expensive. We here

UNICEFDrive
Again this year, North Canton youth will be among 10,000
young people in the Canton area, who will be knocking
on doors Wednesday, Oct. 30,
asking for pennies for UNICEF.
Last year, more than 3,000,000
children in the 50 states went
"frick or treating- for UNICEIF."
Children from 19 other nations
(including Canada) joined them
on behalf of the Children's
Fund.
The fund, originated to assist
children of war-torn Europe,
tries to help the 750,000,000 children in the world that live in
under-developed countries,

fund helps nations to help themselves. In practice, governments
spend an average of $2.50 for
every dollar spent by UNICEF.
In 11962, the fund assisted in
495 projects for children and
mothers in 116 countries and 6
inter-regional projects, at a cost
of $30,000,000. UNICEF is financed entirely by voluntary contributions from governments
and individuals (104 governments contributed in 1962).
UNICEiF i s directed by an
executive board of 30 nations,
which meets twice a year to
set policy and allocate funds.
In this area, ujniCEF is sponsored by the Inter-Faith Committee for UNICEIF of Central
Stark County. This committee is
